Thx for great instructions.

I had the same issue with hidden %, due to large numbers. It can be solved with make both series as a line, and change series 1 back to column.

Shida, sometimes the % data can be hidden if your left scale is too large. You can temporarily increase one of your % data points to a number high enough to appear, or you can temporarily adjust the left scale to 100. You just need to be able to see the % data so you can switch it to the secondary axis.

Shida,

I just read this and had the same issue. The problem was that my “count” values were way to high to see the small number of precentages.. my QTYs were in the thousands. If you click beside the column… it is there and then you can manipulate the percentages.

Thanks for the info, it is extremely useful. I had an interview for a promotion at work, and I knew that I would be asked to do a pareto chart using the new microsoft office package. Thanks to this website I was fully prepared and confident. I easily landed the job since none of the other applicants were able to create a pareto! Thanks again!!
